Default I have *experianced* the "vastly superior"...

lights and I disagree, they are not vastly superior. Prove to me that they are. You're statment is a statement of opinion. That's cool. But don't march around thinking it's a 'fact' that xenons are better.
Oh and by the way, I own two cars with 'xenon' headlights only because they were 'standard equipment'. Thanks for making the typical audiworld discussion assumption though.
I won't get them again if I have a choice.

Default No. Thanks for the assumption though...

I don't make assumptions, unlike most on these internet boards.
I happen to own two cars with 'xenon' headlights.
I know full well what they are and what they do.
The headlights in the A3 are garbage.
Plus, they will loose their intensity will time, you'll see. Then you'll need to replace some pricey headlights.......

Default thanks for copying and pasting the Audi marketing propaganda...

It seems you don't understand how light works and you never will. Nor do the Audi marketing hacks.

Default What's your QTH?

Next time you come down to SoCal, call me up and I'll show you the difference in fact. But see your opthalmologist first.

Default Maybe. He doeen't get it that Xenon provides almost twice the illumination.

That is not subjective, but fact. A brightness meter will easily prove this. It's like the difference between crime lights and faded street lamps.

Fortunatly, the market demands that xenon be available so he's the exception not the rule.

I suppose in the future even a Neon will have xenon as the more obselete lighting technologies give rise to superior solutions.

Default I think you guys need to understand the difference between "HID" and "Xenon"...

Xenon bulbs are not necessarily High Intensity Discharge....

Default Actually, you have a very valid point there. Thanks for pointing that out!

In case I said Xenon somewhere, I meant HID.
